Prison break does get a bit silly in the later seasons.
But I really enjoyed the final long episode.
Might start watching it again!

From having personal experience with the IPS a lot of the topics in Prison Break seem plausible to be honest.

Very interesting concept and I'm really enjoying watching it.

prison break for me was one of the best. The third season in panama whilst not plausible was very good.

He is not an actor. He's security manager for a shipping company and has negotiated with hijackers. He was called in to brief the production crew on the process and impressed them so much that he was offered and accepted a big role in the film.

Just started to rewatch Scrubs. First episode absolutely fantastic, I'd forgotten how great it was in the early days. No wonder the physios I used to live with loved it so much, it really does come across as a very realistic portrayal of a hospital in the first season at least.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug now up on irish netflix

danrua01 · 07-08-2014 9:59am

Daywatch/Nightwatch are very interesting films to see.

coolisin · 07-08-2014 12:18pm

Is it the version of nightwatch/daywatch the one with the subtitles that are animated to be part of the movie. Love that version. Sucks it never came out on DVD that way.

Probably an odd request but does anyone know if the show Who Do You Think You Are is on any region Netflix? Trying to find it so that I can clear up my mum's sky box.

The UK version is on the South American versions of Netflix.

A handy site to use not just for Netflix but for Hulu iTunes BBC Player etc.

I started watching Orphan Black last night, ended up watching 5 episodes until about 4 this morning... :rolleyes:

Wasn't easy getting up today let me tell you! :pac:

It's a great programme, really interesting story and concept.

Will have to get back to my Prison Break today though.

yeah, surprised me too. I was going to get round to watching it eventually but 4od and other means are so awkward compared to netflix!

I watched 3 episodes of it last night, its really good.

Its a pitty netflix doesn't have the 2nd season, I'll have to wipe the dust of my ps3 and see do I still have the 4od app.;)

Move to the US.

Sorry, but that's the only answer that can be given here on this forum. What your asking isn't perfectly legal, the lines in the sand are somewhat blurred.

Roquentin · 07-08-2014 6:20pm

In fairness, netflix doesnt mind. The more they can offer, be it illegal, but on the lower end of illegal, they dont mind. Its the producers who are losing out.

splashthecash · 07-08-2014 6:28pm

It's not new or anything but I watched the first episode of Sons of Anarchy the other night, very good t'was....great to think there 4 or 5 other season ready for me. I like the way it follows the shorter season model as opposed to 22/23 episodes per season

What do other think of it?

I thought SOA was brilliant until

the season they come to Ireland

(<-- not really a spoiler but just in case!) ruined the whole show for me!

Definitely, it was appalling. my advice is watch seasons 1 and 2 since they're actually great, then skip to 4. Just watch the "last season on SOA" bit at the beginning of the first episode of season 4 and you'll be filled in without sitting through 20 odd hours of awful tv.

Charlie19 · 07-08-2014 7:36pm

SOA is brilliant, it would definitely be in my top 5 of tv shows. The last seasons was excellent, cant wait for the return.

That reminds me.. Its back in September:)

Has Hell on Wheels ever been on Irish Netflix? I watched the 1st season on RTÉ a while back and loved it. I recorded the 2nd season to watch all at once but was only a few episodes in when we had to get a new UPC box and lost all the recordings.

As others have said, season 1 and 2 are great. I watched it delighted with this new show, interesting storyline, not too over the top and entertaining. I drive bikes myself so that was a big pull for me.
Then in season 3 they go to Ireland (not really giving anything away saying that) and it's just so cheesy, they even change the intro music to sound "Irish". I mean, you wouldn't know they were in Ireland without some tin whistles and there may as well be irish dancers doing jigs and reels on the back of the bikes because that's what makes an authentic set in Ireland show :rolleyes:

Back to season 4 and 5 and while it is entertaining, it's completely over the top and I stopped watching about half way through season 5.

Also, there is heavy involvement in the show with actual real life MC members and you would think that that would help keep the storylines realistic but, no.

TitianGerm · 07-08-2014 9:53pm

I just noticed they have some UFC on the Canadian netflix. Some fights I'd actually missed when they were on live.

Dman001 · 08-08-2014 12:05am

That new/rebooted Cosmos series is upon the Canadian Netflix. Seems to be highly rated so must give it a go.

time to take the facebook what you are watching on netflix share settings off

Nymphomaniac: Volume 1 & 2 are now on us netflix

Mousewar · 08-08-2014 9:02am

I've watched a few series on netflix thanks to suggestions on here. A quick summary:

The Shield: Coming to the end of Season 1. Really excellent. Tremendous characters and strong storylines.

Suits: Watched the 2 seasons available. Despite the fact that it's over-the-top, poorly written, clichéd tosh, I oddly enjoyed this. Stories of alpha males like Harvey are always watchable.

Longmire: First episode was very promising but the subsequent episodes have been almost just repeats. Not sure but will probably continue with it as I hear it picks up a lot.

Utopia: Just watched the first episode last night. Really liked it. I love something brave and different like that.

Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions.

danrua01 · 08-08-2014 9:08am

Can anyone recommend any good documentaries? I've seen some already, mostly music/sports-

Beware of Mr Baker
Vanishing of the Bees
Senna
that one about The Band
The Zeitgeist series

Almost the entire Louis Theroux canon is on there. If you haven't seen them they're so worth it.

danrua01 · 08-08-2014 9:27am

Yeah forgot about those ones! I've seen the Westboro Baptist Church one, any specific ones to recommend?
